Atmospheric aerosols from human activity influence ... it is still substantial compared to uncertainties associated with greenhouse gases. In addition the uncertainty in individual RF for several ...

Atmospheric aerosols compete with carbon dioxide as an agent of warming. In the charge against global warming, carbon dioxide has long held sway as public enemy number one. But now, less ...

Aerosols, often emitted alongside greenhouse gases, can brighten clouds and cause significant cooling. However, the uncertainty associated with aerosol–cloud interactions (ACIs) is large and ...

Although the Earth’s atmosphere is composed mostly of gases, aerosols and clouds have a large impact on the Earth’s radiation budget. The investigation of the climate impact of aerosols and clouds is ...

The main research interest of the Environmental Optics Laboratory is the study of the effects that anthropogenic and natural particulates suspended and transported in the atmosphere (aerosols) have on ...

After greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4), the small particles suspended in the atmosphere known as aerosols are humankind’s greatest influence on the global climate.

Global warming is caused by the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and has been known to intensify temperature and rainfall extremes. Aerosols can counteract the impact of greenhouse ...

Atmospheric aerosols and clouds play important roles in determining the Earth’s climate ... Overall, the uncertainty in aerosol radiative forcing is considerably larger than that due to greenhouse ...

greenhouse gases. They occur naturally, but human activity has generated more and more greenhouse gases… and they now trap too much heat, raising the Earth’s temperature and causing climate ...

Ruairi Brogan, who works for a wildlife charity, explains where greenhouse gases come from and how they can be absorbed by habitats like forests and peatlands. Greenhouse gases refers to a number ...

UK greenhouse gas emissions fell by 3.5% last ... meaning Britain would no longer be adding to the total amount of gases in the atmosphere. DESNZ said the fall was largely due to reductions ...
